Texas became the home of C.J. Stroud since the Houston Texans selected the talented quarterback with the second pick in the 2023 NFL draft. The region is dealing with one of the deadliest natural disasters in recent U.S. history as floods hit Kerr County and the Hill Country communities.
The floods have claimed the lives of around 50 people, with over 25 still missing. On Saturday, the C.J. Stroud Foundation's Instagram page released a heartfelt message about the people affected by the disaster.
"We are deeply saddened by all the devastation caused by the floods in Kerr County, and the Jill Country Communities. Our hearts are with the families affected. We pray for the strength, hope and healing," the Instagram post read.

The Texans QB reposted the post on his story and added a three-word message.
